It reminds me of the hilarious debate of fangirls online.

First claiming frozen was the first best animation to feature a astrong female lead.
How fast they forgot Lilo, Merida, Mulan..etc..
Same when dumb people claim its the first movie to feature "a lot of sister to sister family elements".
They forget about Lilo and Stitch already?

These claims are as dumb as the beliebers insulting The Beatles, by saying they stole Bieber's songs.

If you've ever had a kitchen remodeled or even just a sink fixed after a slow leak that caused even a minor amount of mold or rotten wood, you might also have seen what looked like this "mass demolition," but with the final product still looking like a kitchen and in more or less the same space, only with new fixtures, appliances, and cabinets, maybe even new tile or linoleum. Maybe even a wall torn out, to adjoin it to the breakfast nook, for a more open space. But still a kitchen. Still shoe horned into the existing outside structure and foot print.

So, depending on what you might call an "overlay," this may or may not qualify -- and it may not mean anything more that a remodel to an existing show building. A "mass destruction" would be more like what happened to Horizons -- tearing down the whole building and starting again.

This, so far, seems to be more like a re-model, using the existing building, than "starting from the ground up." Similar to "Extreme Makeover, Home Edition," when they do a nice remodel, versus some episodes where they completely tear down the whole building and build a whole new one.

Don't get me wrong. It may still be a nice ride (though still not appropriate for EPCOT -- because of World Showcase's mission), but it is still a kitchen, it seems. It is still a dark ride that appears to be shoehorned into the existing show building. May be OK, even nice. Maybe (or maybe not) "an overlay." But not "mass demolition'' either.

Last I checked, Tom knows a thing or two about construction.

"Cheap overlay", which is what has been the most frequently used description of the project around here, certainly doesn't imply gutting the space down to the bare structural details...and it certainly looks like that's what's happening here.

Which is why I started using the term refurd. It's a much better fit to describe Frostrom.

I am not going to argue the point of whether or not Frozen "Belongs" in the Norway pavilion. However, people in this thread calling it a "Cheap overlay" is just FUD. Because honestly, we know NOTHING about what WDW has planned for the Maelstrom site. It very well may be a BUST, but I am not hoping it will be, like so many on here. I honestly hope for an entertaining ride that is enjoyable for everyone and all signs iv'e seen so far point to this not being just a "Cheap Overlay".

We know the size of the flume, the size of the showbuilding and the design timeline. None of those can achieve a big expensive attraction.

Well, its cheap if you compared other awful overlays. Fine example is SUPERSTAR LIMO into the crappy Monsters Inc ride. (the animatronics barely move)

Is the consensus that they are removing the theatre? They could then theoretically have a much larger indoor themed queue.

Supposedly the theater is going to be a Frozen M&G.

I kind of want a few of those theater benches...

OK I'll finally say it for the first time. I think Frozen is one of the lamest Disney movies ever. I don't understand it's appeal. And to put it where Maelstrom was is insane. I can't wait for Frozen to "Thaw"!!! Maybe that should be the name of the sequel.

If Disney wants to capitalize on one of their recent movies, do it in another park and use Tangled or Princess and The Frog. Much better movies.

Frozen was decent enough....until they decided "hey, you know what this film needs? A VILLAIN!"
After that the entire movie turned into a poopsicle.
